The East Sea, the Merfolk Race

Over the East Sea.

"Honestly, we've all been driven crazy by our master."

A streak of light flashed past, and the tortoise, its face flushed, passed by the dojo. The spirit was shirking responsibility.

Riding the light beneath his feet, Guiling headed towards the Primordial World Continent, but felt somewhat lost.

Although Ao Changsheng instructed her to go to the Primordial World to comprehend the Great Dao of the World, she had actually already arrived in the Primordial World when she left the dojo.

Instead of necessarily heading to the Primordial World Continent.

Thinking about this...

The Guiling's flying speed immediately slowed down.

As a sea turtle, although it has cultivated to its current level, it does not reject any environment and can live in the sea.

And why go to the mainland?

Guiling fell into deep thought.

Then the light beneath the Guiling's feet vanished, revealing its true form: a giant sea turtle with a diameter of ten thousand feet, which instantly plunged into the sea.

However, due to the suppression by Law Power, it didn't cause much of a ripple.

Therefore, Guiling did not reveal his astonishing weight when he jumped into the water.

"Comfortable..."

Upon falling into the sea, the Guiling, now in its true form, immediately let out a comfortable groan.

"Indeed, swimming is much more comfortable in ordinary seawater. Even the seawater in Master's Daoist temple is filled with Innate Spiritual Qi."

"Swimming feels like a form of spiritual practice; it's not comfortable at all."

With a contented expression, Guiling uttered words that made countless cultivators in the Primordial World envious, jealous, and wishful thinking of taking his place.

With four palms propelling the seawater, the Guiling swam freely in the ocean.

Suddenly.

The Guiling couldn't help but recall something that left a deep impression on her, something she could never forget.

That was... billions of years ago.

The scene of her, who had not yet been accepted by her master, being blessed by Fuxi, who was not yet her senior brother at the time, as she rushed to her master's dojo.

At that time, with the blessing of Fuxi's Law Power, she only slightly moved her feet and reached a speed that would make her heartbroken and weep now.

Guiling's face appeared somewhat pale.

Although hundreds of millions of years have passed, with his current level of cultivation as a Daluo Golden Immortal, recalling those memories is almost indistinguishable from experiencing them firsthand.

This is a double blow, both physically and mentally.

Only at this moment did Guiling realize that having a cultivation level that was too high was not a good thing.

This had never happened when she was at the Taiyi Realm.

"No, I can't... I can't hold on any longer."

Even with his current cultivation level as Daluo Guiling, he felt dizzy and disoriented, unable to control his body.

Drifting with the current in the vast East Sea.

Fortunately, the East Sea is large enough; otherwise, a turtle with a body tens of thousands of feet in size might not have been able to float.

If she sinks to the bottom like this, the secret of Guiling's weight, which she had gone to great lengths to conceal, will be revealed.

In the vast East Sea.

Guiling drifted with the current, trying to recover from the double blow to his body and mind.

Although things are temporarily out of control, she is not too worried about her safety.

Leaving aside the fact that after she achieved the Daluo, her tortoise shell... and her body became incredibly powerful, just consider the protective spiritual treasures all over her body.

There wasn't a single one that was below the level of Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure.

Even if she doesn't resist, and she lies here allowing herself to be attacked, no one without Quasi-Sage Realm can shake her.

That's what makes the Turtle Race so powerful!

The Guiling couldn't help but feel smug.

Especially after practicing the Method of Opening Up an Inner World taught by her master, she felt even more proud of her origins.

The conditions for cultivating this Cultivation Method are so demanding that no one in the entire Primordial World is more suitable for Cultivation Method than her.

Before he knew it, Guiling had recovered from the double blow to his body and mind.

However, drifting with the ocean currents, without having to travel on your own or even think about your destination, is too comfortable.

Guiling was in no hurry to break free from the ocean current.

However, Guiling forgot, or perhaps didn't even consider, was... the ocean currents in the East Sea.

But they are never all formed naturally.

More often...

"Die, you thief dragon!"

With a roar, a series of Law Technique attacks that stirred up the surrounding sea for tens of thousands of miles were unleashed.

The other figure, known as the Thief Dragon, did not speak, but unhesitatingly unleashed a series of water-based Law Technique of different shapes.

The Law Technique that stirred up the vast ocean collided violently, causing the ocean currents to surge and impact everything within a radius of tens of thousands of miles or even wider.

Unfortunately...

The Guiling happened to be located within this vast area.

Feeling the waves crashing around him, Guiling fell silent.

To her, the aftershocks of such a water-based Law Technique collision were insignificant, but... the changes in the ocean currents.

But this interrupted his plan to go with the flow.

If we continue to drift with the ocean currents, we'll probably get caught up in the battle between those two younger guys ahead.

"Sigh! I knew the East Sea wouldn't let me live like this forever, but... this is all happening way too fast!"

After easing her tension, Guiling turned to look at the two juniors who had disturbed her peaceful and happy life.

A quick glance around.

It doesn't even require using divine sense.

Two cultivators, one a dragon and the other a thief, both at the Early Taiyi Golden Immortal, appeared before the Guiling's eyes.

Um.

The thief was a giant squid.

A dragon and a thief are locked in a thrilling battle.

That's right.

It was simply brilliant.

With Guiling's keen eyesight, he easily discerned the true nature of these two—a dragon and a thief—who were shouting fiercely and constantly yelling "Die!"

It was all a sham fight.

That kind of staged fight, where the two sides cooperate, creating a grand and intense spectacle that is so exciting it's breathtaking.

"This..."

Even with Guiling's wild imagination, he couldn't understand what was going on for a moment.

A lifetime of curiosity, coupled with a state of leisure and idleness.

Guiling immediately decided to follow and take a look.

Wrong.

It's about showing concern for one's master's clan.

He knew that his master had promised that the Dragon Race could seek his help if they needed anything.

And as the master's disciple.

It's perfectly normal for her to show concern after meeting a member of her master's clan who was being 'hunted down' today!

While still searching for reasons in his mind, Guiling had already concealed himself and followed without hesitation.

As Daluo Golden Immortal, it would be quite easy for him to deceive the eyes of two lesser Taiyi Golden Immortal.

"Die, die, die, die!"

Although it was a fake fight, the giant squid kept shouting, and with each shout of "Thief Dragon," an excited look appeared on its face.

The sea dragon, who had always been called the Thief Dragon, finally couldn't take it anymore and roared angrily as it unleashed its water Law Technique.

"I am the dragon, you are the thief... Die!"

"Can you call a squid a thief? As for you, a dragon? If you're a dragon, you're a thieving dragon. Thief dragon, die!" The giant squid sneered.

Several enormous tentacles churned the sea, unleashing a barrage of water-based Technique Method towards the sea dragon on the other side.

And from time to time, tentacles would shoot out from the water-based Law Technique, bombarding the sea dragon's true body.

The sea dragon, not to be outdone, retaliated with a barrage of water-based Law Technique, its sharp claws leaving numerous wounds on the giant squid.

The battle between the two sides was back and forth, and the fighting became increasingly exciting.

Um!

Judging from the perspective of the Guiling, the initial 'battle' would probably be rated three out of ten, while now it would be a passing grade of six.

The most obvious difference is the growing tacit understanding between the dragon and the thief.

Although it was still a fake fight.

However, thanks to their tacit understanding, their battles became much more thrilling and exciting than the initial, which was merely a large-scale confrontation.

The two sides even intentionally swapped injuries.

Even if a battle between Taiyi Golden Immortal is a charade, it is not so easy to determine a winner.

Guiling, on the other hand, followed this for three days and three nights.

Watching the two of them go from a passing score of six to a passing score of nine.

Even if a Daluo Golden Immortal were to come now, he probably wouldn't be able to tell in a short time that the two were faking their fight.

If Guiling hadn't watched the whole thing from beginning to end, he probably wouldn't have believed that the dragon and the thief were faking their fight.

Three days and three nights passed.

Both the sea dragon and the giant squid bore numerous injuries, and their internal Law Power had been greatly depleted.

After a seemingly unwilling collision.

The dragon and the thief retreated reluctantly and went their separate ways.

Standing in the same spot—no, in the original sea— Guiling stared blankly at the scattered dragon and thief.

They've already retreated?

She followed him for three days and three nights, and all she saw was a good show.

So you got nothing at all?

Guiling blinked, looking at the separated thief dragon—oops, the separated sea dragon and squid—and without the slightest hesitation, immediately...

Two avatars separated, one following a dragon and the other a squid.

As Ao Chang's disciple.

Ao Changsheng's forte was the Method of Creating Avatars, so how could Guiling not know it?

As for the Guiling's true form, it fell into the sea at this moment, found a current, and continued its unfinished journey across the East Sea.

The vast depths of the East Sea.

Linggui Number One was following the sea dragon at the Taiyi Realm as it continued to descend.

Originally, she thought the sea dragon was going to return to the Dragon Race, which is why she created this clone to follow it.

Furthermore, along the way, he also used the power of the Small Thousand World to merge himself into the Primordial World and conceal his form.

This method.

It's not Divine Ability, just a simple application of the inner world.

Even so, without reaching the Quasi-Sage Realm and conducting a very thorough investigation, it's unlikely that even the Linggui Number One, which is hiding its aura, could be detected.

But...

Although we don't know where the Dragon Race's main base is now, this direction definitely cannot be Dragon Race main base.

Because...

Although there was still some distance, Linggui Number One could already see the distant Primordial World Continent in the distance.

In the middle.

At most, it's a distance of ten to eight hundred million miles.

The Dragon Race would never place their base so close to the shore.

Especially the Nine Provinces Barrier, which stretches out in the distance and envelops parts of the coastal area; with this barrier in place...

Let alone Dragon Race.

In the Primordial World, no matter what power it is, it would not place its headquarters in such a place.

"That is..."

As they followed the sea dragon, Linggui Number One. 1 suddenly stopped and looked with some surprise at a city in the sea in the distance.

Of course, while cities in the sea are rare, there are still quite a few in the vast Four Seas, so this is not something that should surprise Linggui Number One.

However, this underwater city is located within the area covered by the Human Race's Nine Provinces Barrier.

Moreover, what attracted Linggui Number One was the residents of this underwater city.

Each one had a fish tail and a human body, like a fish spirit or monster that failed to transform into Innate Dao Body, only succeeding in transforming its upper body.

Roaming across the Primordial World...

All right!

Having wandered the East Sea for a long time, Linggui Number One said she had never seen such a strange species of creatures.

Moreover... Linggui Number One could also vaguely sense a faint dragon aura emanating from the tail of that fish-tailed, human-bodied creature.

Obviously.

This fish tail is not what you would call a fish tail, but rather a dragon tail, or perhaps a dragon tail.

"Is this... some kind of dragon from the Dragon Race unable to resist again?"

Linggui Number One couldn't help but start to have doubts.

As a turtle with a Dragon Race master, the Guiling naturally collected information about the Dragon Race through various means over billions of years.

Of these, one percent came from Ao Changsheng's casual remarks, and ninety-nine percent came from the Great Encyclopedia of the Primordial World brought by his senior brother Fuxi.

The Dragon Race, as a former dominant race, has very clear records about it.

Four of those characters were deeply imprinted in Guiling's mind and remained unforgettable.

Dragons are inherently lustful!

Based on the sight of these half-fish, half-human creatures, Linggui Number One naturally conjured up a series of extremely exciting scenarios in its mind.

Upon seeing this, Linggui Number One immediately lost interest in the sea dragon and, in a flash, began to stroll around the mermaid city.

As Daluo, a little illusion magic, coupled with mental manipulation, is enough to change how others perceive him.

And without arousing any suspicion, they blended directly into this city of half-humans and half-fish.

First.

Linggui Number One then prepared to head to the teahouse.

This was one of the few experiences she had gained from Ao Changsheng during her countless lifetimes of wandering in the Primordial World.

Teahouses or taverns are usually places where people are well-informed.

Then...

After searching the entire city, the Linggui still couldn't find any teahouses or taverns.

"I was so stupid!"

"Knowing full well that his master is a reclusive hermit who never leaves his home, he still believed in his experience of venturing into the Primordial World."

In a corner of the city, Linggui Number One huddled in the shadows, looking utterly dejected.

Although it didn't find any teahouses or taverns, Linggui Number One explored the entire city and didn't come away empty-handed.

At least...

She learned that this race was called Merfolk.

It is a branch of the Human Race that flourished in the Primordial World.

"So... this really is a product of the union of Dragon Race and Human Race?" Linggui Number One fell into deep thought.

"Dragons and humans? Master and Fuxi..."

Whether it's the Dragon Race or the Human Race, in a sense, they all have a close connection with Linggui Number One.
